Last week, students in classroom 204 shot free throws, went bowling, and then graphed their data. Looks like fun, classroom 204!
A few pictures of our 4th grade students who sang the National Anthem at the Sioux Falls Skyforce game last night. Looks like it was a great time!
Calling all Future Jefferson High School Cavaliers!
With the late start this morning, students can enter the school starting at 9:45 am and head to their classrooms - with school starting at 10:00 am. When there is a 2-hour late start breakfast is not served. Please make sure your student(s) eats before they come to school. Students will need their snow gear: boots, snow pants, coats, gloves, and hats. Snow gear is required to play on the snow hills and in the field. Drive safe, and please be patient and courteous!
Establishing healthy eating habits is the focus of this month's Family Forum Series, brought to you by Avera Behavioral Health and the Sioux Falls School District.

It’s time to start thinking about kindergarten for the 2023-24 school year! Children must be five years old on or before September 1, 2023, to register. Below is step-by-step on how to register.
STEP 1: Go to https://www.cognitoforms.com/DiscoveryElementary/_202324kindergarteninputform and enter your child’s information. This puts your child on our list of incoming kindergartners and gives you an opportunity to tell us about your child.
STEP 2: Submit the required documents that we must have before your child can start school: address verification, birth certificate, and immunizations. You can email (photo, scan, etc.) the documents to DiscoveryRegistration.Sfsd@k12.sd.us or fax them to 605-362-3535. The address verification must be in your (parent/guardian) name, and it must be current. Acceptable documents are: utility bill; rental property lease/contract or payment receipts; property tax payment or receipts; state/government agency mail; mortgage document; or homeowner’s insurance policy.
STEP 3: Complete the Sioux Falls School District's (SFSD) online registration, which will open on February 1, 2023, - you will NOT be able to register until then.
